Multi-objective ant colony optimization algorithm based on decomposition for community detection in complex networks (2019)
Journal Article
Mu, C., Zhang, J., Liu, Y., Qu, R., & Huang, T. (2019). Multi-objective ant colony optimization algorithm based on decomposition for community detection in complex networks. Soft Computing, 23, 12683-12709. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00500-019-03820-y

Community detection aims to identify topological structures and discover patterns in complex networks, which presents an important problem of great significance. The problem can be modeled as an NP hard combinatorial optimization problem, to which mu...

Agent-Based Simulation Modelling for Reflecting on Consequences of Digital Mental Health (2019)
Preprint / Working Paper
Stroud, D., Wagner, C., & Siebers, P.-O. Agent-Based Simulation Modelling for Reflecting on Consequences of Digital Mental Health

The premise of this working paper is based around agent-based simulation models and how to go about creating them from given incomplete information. Agent-based simulations are stochastic simulations that revolve around groups of agents that each hav...

Unbounded orchestrations of transdeucers for manufacturing (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Alechina, N., Brázdil, T., De Giacomo, G., Felli, P., Logan, B., & Vardi, M. Y. (2019, January). Unbounded orchestrations of transdeucers for manufacturing. Presented at Thirty-Third AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-19), Honolulu, Hawaii, USA

There has recently been increasing interest in using reactive synthesis techniques to automate the production of manufacturing process plans. Previous work has assumed that the set of manufacturing resources is known and fixed in advance. In this pap... Read More about Unbounded orchestrations of transdeucers for manufacturing.

How UX Practitioners Produce Findings in Usability Testing (2019)
Journal Article
Reeves, S. (2019). How UX Practitioners Produce Findings in Usability Testing. ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, 26(1), 1-38. https://doi.org/10.1145/3299096

Usability testing has long been a core interest of HCI research and forms a key element of industry practice. Yet our knowledge of it harbours striking absences. There are few, if any detailed accounts of the contingent, material ways in which usabil... Read More about How UX Practitioners Produce Findings in Usability Testing.

Accurate Monte Carlo simulation of frequency-domain optical coherence tomography (2019)
Journal Article
Wang, Y., & Bai, L. (2019). Accurate Monte Carlo simulation of frequency-domain optical coherence tomography. International Journal for Numerical Methods in Biomedical Engineering, 35(4), Article e3177. https://doi.org/10.1002/cnm.3177

Optical coherence Tomography (OCT) relies on optical interferometry to provide non‐invasive imaging of living tissues. In addition to its 3D imaging capacity for medical diagnosis, its potential use for recovering optical parameters of biological tis...

© 2018 IEEE. In this paper, based on a fuzzy entropy feature selection framework, different methods have been implemented and compared to improve the key components of the framework. Those methods include the combinations of three ideal vector calcul... Read More about Performance Optimization of a Fuzzy Entropy Based Feature Selection and Classification Framework.

A canopy conundrum: can wind-induced movement help to increase crop productivity by relieving photosynthetic limitations? (2019)
Journal Article
Burgess, A. J., Gibbs, J. A., & Murchie, E. H. (2019). A canopy conundrum: can wind-induced movement help to increase crop productivity by relieving photosynthetic limitations?. Journal of Experimental Botany, 70(9), 2371-2380. https://doi.org/10.1093/jxb/ery424

Wind-induced movement is a ubiquitous occurrence for all plants grown in natural or agricultural settings and in the context of high, damaging wind speeds it has been well studied. However, the impact of lower wind speeds (that do not cause any damag...
